Not here albright.
It senses my version correctly as 11.2.202.228.

Welcome to the club.

I tried to d/l the patch but FF said I had an addon missing.
So I ended up unmerging libvdpau now it plays normal colors.

I know but I'll see what will be done in the coming weeks.
I don't watch movies anyway.
I sometimes get a flash movie in the mail,that's all.

This might be related, though it's hard to say - the report lacks details.

...well, not that my post has many; on the other hand, I really can't tell what details I could acquire, after all neither dmesg, nor full log show any crashes.

Also, some of the posts I came across suggest it's a CPU problem - this hardware is quite a bit dated, so it might be that Adobe built this release with optimizations, that result in SIGILL (shouldn't that show up in the logs though ?).

Oddly (?) I'm not having any problems with flash on my gentoo box (amd64, nvidia video) but flash doesn't work for me at all on my archlinux box (x86, ati video) in firefox, chromium, or opera - exactly like VoidMages' initial post. This is 11.2.202.228 on both systems.

And then replaced the libflashplayer.so (only) and it fixed the problem. Adobe obviously made a mistake with its latest version.

Flash updates are seldomly feature updates. The changelog of the ebuild lists the bug from bugs.gentoo.org which informs you about the following:

Quote:

These priority 2 updates address critical vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player 11.1.102.63 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh, Linux and Solaris, and Adobe Flash Player 11.1.111.7 and earlier versions for Android 3.x and 2.x. These vulnerabilities could cause a crash and potentially allow an attacker to take control of the affected system.

Adobe recommends users of Adobe Flash Player 11.1.102.63 and earlier versions for Windows, Macintosh and Linux update to Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.228. Users of Adobe Flash Player 11.1.102.63 and earlier versions for Solaris should update to Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.223. Users of Adobe Flash Player 11.1.111.7 and earlier versions for Android 3.x and earlier versions should update to Flash Player 11.1.111.8.

No idea how many actively exploited security holes you just opened. Better fallback to html5 videos on youtube and others until the problem is solved.

If you go read the full security bulletin, you can see that 10.3.183.18 has also been fixed, so Strykaas is safe.

Edit: A new vulnerability has been found, 10.3.183.18 is *not* ok to use. 10.3.183.19 is though.
Edit2: New vulnerabilities found, not even 10.3.183.19 is safe. *Always* get the latest 10.3 from the link I posted above.
